Testimonials

"To say our recent home purchace was a rather rocky process would be an understatement. Our Thurston County home sold in 3 days with an agressive closing period. We needed our agent to be prompt with our purchase contract, have attention to detail, and cover all the bases so our transition was smooth. To compound issues, we ran into problems with our loan underwriter. We needed our agent to step in, roll up his sleeves and help us maneuver through the sale. Phil Harlan was everything we needed him to be, and more. We've used Phil for both our home purchases and he has consistently provided us the expertise and professional representation we needed in our transactions. Thanks Phil ! -Chris and Jennifer Aldrich, Onalaska WA"

To Whom it may Concern,

As an experienced home inspector I have had the opportunity to work with many, many Realtors over the years. During that time, Phil Harlan has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He maintains a clear, personable and dedicated relationship with his clients, always patient and careful to explain the transaction process. As it relates to the inspection process, Phil makes sure that he understands my findings as well as the client so that he can better help them respond to any issues. It is clear to me that understanding and meeting the client's needs are paramount to Phil and even more important than making a sale. I would call that uncommon professionalism, extreme dedication to the client and an winning combination for anybody looking to buy or sell a home.

We could not be happier with the service we received from Phil Harlan. He worked very hard to find us just the right house. He sent us numerous e-mails with lots of options and worked hard to learn our likes and dislikes. His knowledge is very good about home values in all the areas around here. We feel we got a great deal on the purchase of our new home and are very happy there.

With the sale of our old property we ran into some rather stressful complications that could have been costly. He negotiated very well with the buyer and cut our cost for repairs and such to a minimum. We would use Phil again and have and will recommend Phil to all our friends, family and colleagues.

Sincerely,

Rick & Carol McCaslin
